We talk of innovation as if it’s always about tech. But some of the boldest innovations today are social, ecological, and moral. Reimagining how we live, consume, and relate to nature—that’s the real frontier. #ClimateJustice #SystemsChange #Regen

POVERTY SOLUTIONS

Political Exclusion – Controlling the Narrative and Retaining Power Prescription 6: Strengthening Grassroots Movements Too often, top-down governance excludes the very communities it claims to serve. Decisions are made without meaningful input from those most impacted, resulting in policies that perpetuate cycles of dependency, inequality, and disempowerment. This video explores Prescription 6: Strengthening Grassroots Movements—a vital response to political exclusion. By investing in local leadership, organizing infrastructure, and community-driven solutions, we can shift power from centralized institutions to the people on the ground. Grassroots organizing empowers communities to advocate for their own needs, build resilience, and lead systemic change. Sociologically, grassroots movements challenge entrenched power structures and unite diverse groups through shared struggle. Spiritually, we reflect on how Jesus began with ordinary people—fishermen, tax collectors, the poor—revealing that true transformation often rises from the margins. We spotlight movements like Occupy Wall Street and the Poor People’s Campaign, which have elevated marginalized voices and demanded justice in the face of economic, racial, and environmental oppression. This is more than a policy—it’s a call to action. Because empowered people empower change. 🔔 Subscribe for more insights on grassroots strategies and systemic justice. 📢 Join the conversation.

Exponential Lessons for Systems Action

Designing for a new post-linear mindset to deal with the exponential change effects from today. My thoughts on what to design in. #change #systemschange

What does systemic change at an exponential level look like? Look around and you’ll see why a new approach to perceiving the world is now critical. The first question above is answered below: Whether it’s area burned (above) or carbon emissions (below), the Canadian wildfire situation is a start and gigantic example of what exponential change looks like. This is one example from one large…

I think the Ellen Macarthur Foundation does some pretty great work on pushing for a Circular Economy - I like this guide on upstream innovation for packaging.

It looks at the bigger picture by tracing the problem back to its root cause and tackling it there - this leads to questions not only around the material, but of the entire product itself, as well as the business model around it.

Here’s a nice little videos as a teaser, more on their youtube channel.

Dinsdag 1 september – Leerzame tip weer van Peter Bogaards: Designing for systems-level change and transitions towards more sustainable futures. Door Terry Irwin. Met een mooi verhaal over wolven, heldere theorie en concrete voorbeelden van methodieken. 

Transitioning entire societies towards more sustainable, long-term futures is what Thomas Berry called the ‘great work’ of the 21st century. It will involve ongoing system change over long horizons of time. And it will challenge us to develop a deep understanding of complex systems, their anatomy and dynamics. Which will require new knowledge and skillsets, new mindsets and postures, which will give rise to new ways of designing.

We’re Failing Our Children

We’re failing our children In their education The very foundation Of the survival of our race

We’re failing our children Not because they’re lazy or rude Not because they’re queer or in a bad mood Not because they’re anything, or everything, we don’t like

We’re failing our children Because we didn’t teach them We didn’t show them We didn’t help them know how to survive

They know addition before vegetables And ketchup, that counts They know algebra and taxonomy Before why mommy shouts

They know money and time Like an eternal rule As if everyone didn’t feel As if they were both rather cruel

They know i before e except after c Before they learn adults Are destroying the seas

They learn YouTube, Facebook, Snapchat, and Insta Before they know court order Or government Or why maybe the latter are run by the former

But more than that More than any issue Of failing to teach them any practical knowledge For the life in the system, the one that we built We never once mentioned Things like shame or guilt Anger, sadness, frustration, embarrassment Rejection, depression, or even content

No, we didn’t teach them about what they’d encounter From day one In this meager human life Where we think we’re the top The best and the brightest We think that we’ve won But no, we’ve only just begun

So here’s the truth I warn you It’s cold and it’s harsh But we need to accept it If we don’t, then, we’re living a farce

We’re not We’re not at the top We’re not the best We’re not the brightest or better than the rest We’re barely surviving In a system that no longer serves us Where nobody’s thriving And nobody’s heard us

We don’t know connection We bury emotion We say, it’s OK There’s no cause for commotion When inside we’re dying We don’t know who to trust So we say nothing And go on our day And fail to consider THERE’S ANOTHER WAY

We’re failing our children Because we believe in a system A system that broke us And taught us never to listen

My family I call you That’s what we are Those with eyes will see Those with ears will hear WE NEED TO MOVE ON WE CANNOT STAY HERE

We’re failing our children Because we still don’t know How to take action Responsibility Initiative

We’re failing our children Believing in a tomorrow That mirrors today As if things stayed the same Never going astray

That’s not how it works Never has, never will Mother nature moves on With or without you

So don’t slow down Don’t give up or give in Because this is a battle I want to fucking win

A Framework for Thinking about Complex Change

[ruurdsnotes]

Maandag 15 april – Samenvatting van mijn samenvattende schema’s over verandernetwerken. Hierna volgt een toelichting...

Het eerste schema introduceert de zogenaamde 1%-ers (uit de 90-9-1 Rule for Participation Inequality in Social Media and Online Communities, van Nielsen).

In het tweede schema voeg ik daar mijn eigen definities aan toe, waarbij 1%-ers (ook wel creators, change agents of koplopers) ‘mensen zijn die niet op anderen wachten voor ze iets gaan doen’.

De derde vertelt dat 1%-ers meer impact krijgen als ze in interdisciplinaire teams gaan samenwerken – en dat die impact verder toeneemt als de mensen in die teams ook nog eens verschillende stakeholder-groepen vertegenwoordigen.

In het vierde schema staan in de drie linkerkolommen de triple helix sectoren; waarvan financiers van innovatieprogramma’s nog niet zo lang geleden dachten dat als die gaan samenwerken systeeminnovatie vanzelf loskomt. In de drie kolommen ernaast staan de zogenoemde ‘niche innovators’; de typen partijen waarvan we hebben geleerd dat ze ook een belangrijke rol vervullen bij het aanjagen van systeeminnovatie (Geels, 2002). In de kolommen in het vierde schema staan de 90-9-1% bolletjes verspreidt, wat wil zeggen dat 1%-ers zeker niet altijd of exclusief aan de top van de hiërarchie in een sector actief zijn.

In het vijfde schema komt alles samen. Daar zijn de 1%-ers uit de verschillende sectoren in een netwerk verbonden en spreek ik van een ‘verandernetwerk’.

De centrale boodschap of hypothese van dit alles is dat systeemverandering goed op gang kan komen door netwerksamenwerking van 1%-ers uit de zes verschillende sectoren. Een belangrijk uitgangspunt hierbij is dat dit vooral het geval lijkt als het publieke belang bij de beoogde systeemverandering centraal staat.
